Foundation Focus

The mission of TheJennifer Riordan Foundation is to continue Jennifer’s philanthropic enthusiasm to support organizations who share her core values to always be kind, loving, caring and sharing. The Jennifer Riordan Foundation will continue her legacy to support the causes she cared about so deeply; Albuquerque Vitality, Financial Literacy, Childhood Education, and Women’s Empowerment.

The next endeavor for the Foundation is the Spark Kindness Campaign. We are striving to make the Albuquerque the kindness capital of the world with a challenge to the community to log one million acts of kindness in the Spark Kindness App (click to download).

To spearhead the launch of the Spark Kindness app, the Foundation is giving $1,000 classroom grants to five Albuquerque area schools (Eisenhower MS, Inez ES, Emerson ES, Carlos Rey ES, and Independence HS in Rio Rancho) who can document the most acts of kindness.
